Usage cautions and notes
When not using for a while
 
Turn off the camera before removing battery and card (ensure that battery is removed 
to prevent damage through over-discharge).
 
Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
 
Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in 
cool (15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and 
no major temperature changes.
 
Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.
Memory cards
 
To prevent damage to cards and data
 •Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity.
 •Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.
 •Do not touch terminals on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet.
 
Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate 
handling. Panasonic will not be liable for any damage caused due to loss of recorded 
data.
 
When disposing of/transferring memory cards
 •If using the “format” or “delete” functions on your camera or computer, this only 
changes the file management information, and does not completely delete the data 
from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, 
we recommend physically destroying them, or using commercially available computer 
data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data within 
memory cards should be managed responsibly.
Monitor/viewfinder
 
Do not press hard on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the 
monitor. 
 
In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the monitor or 
the viewfinder may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is 
turned on. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.
The monitor and viewfinder are made with extremely high precision technology. 
However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. 
This is not a malfunction. The monitor and viewfinder screens are controlled with 
extremely high precision, but some pixels may be inactive. The spots will not be 
recorded on pictures on a card.
